Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 29, 2008

She hasn’t been paying attention to what’s been going on in Dick Tracy and Traze-R’s panels.

Magnum Force kind of looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon! I wonder if he has gills? He could attack from underwater!! BTW, Braces still needs to take a dump. This story is beyond lame.

This time Braces’ henchperson changed the color of her shirt between the second and third panels. Amazing.

I wonder if MF speaks like Robo-Tracy? “Thz strylne scks.”

Oh, BTW…In today’s Li’l Abner, Abner races out at dawn to catch the paper off the train because he can’t wait to read the next installment of Fearless Fosdick. Remind you of anyone…?

“How do you get revenge…with a SIMPLE robot?” I think she will regret having asked that question. I don’t think he’s gonna hand her a pint of milk with a straw. Anyway, this is shaping up to be the “major crime” Tracy is saving Robo-Dick for.

Make it talk, make it talk! I can’t wait to hear what this monstrosity sounds like. I hope it turns on Braces and steals his lunch money.

All my life, I wondered what would happen if Beavis (or Butthead) started posing like an Egyption. Thank you DL, for answering my question in panel 1.

I see the robot moves its arms (panel 1 versus panel 2) without any commands from Beavis, I mean Braces. That’s pretty good for a blow up doll. Beavis/Braces must have splurged and bought the delux model. More drama for your momma baby!

Locher should just stick with his political cartoons and let Dick Tracy rest in peace.

Maybe the milkbot’s little tank will roll out and blow a wheel off the yawning bot.

Now all we need is Roger Smith to show up with the Big O…now THERE’S a giant robot: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280240/

Oh, and Braces, the word you wanted yesterday was probably “rebuffed,” not “rebuked.”

“SIMPLE”, that’s a highly complex piece of machinery lady.

This strip could use a dose of Dirty Harry - and maybe the orang from Every Which Way But Loose - “Clyde! Scrap The Robot!”

This strip could use a new writer and Locher being more focused on his artwork.
